Pao de queijo recipe

A few days ago I posted about Pao de Queijo, telling you guys the history of it, and what it is.
A whole bunch of you requested a recipe for it, and amazingly enough I had never made it myself from scratch.

I had eaten it at bakeries and coffee shops, and I've had bought the semi ready package of it.
But never had I made it from scratch. And so I researched recipes, and the true original way of doing it is quite complicated and tiring to do.
But fear not, I found a much easier way to make it, quicker and that tastes just like the original way.

Get a blender and put all ingredients in. I recommend you put the wet ingredients in it first, then the dry. Close the lid and mix until well blended through - it takes around 2 minutes.

Pour the liquid mixture into the cupcake tins 3/4 of the way full.
Put it in the oven and let it cook until it is golden brown (between 30 to 40 minutes)

Remove from the oven, take the cheese rolls out of the tins and serve right away - be careful not to burn yourself.
This food is meant to be eaten hot. It does not taste great when cold.

If it gets cold, I recommend you heat it you by putting it on sandwich makers / panini presses.
Yes, it will loose it's shape but it will taste as if you had just made it.
Cold or warmed in the microwave or any other way, the pao de queijo tends to get chewy and weird tasting.

After you just made it, when you tear it apart it is meant to have a crunchy outside, soft, airy and gooey inside. (Sorry I forgot to take a picture of this!)

I hope you can try it out, and hopefully you will like it.
If you make it, tag me in your picture.
If you have any questions, leave me a comment and I will reply as soon as possible.

I love Pao de Queijo, being Brazilian this is one of the dishes I make de most I even have 2 different recipes on my blog - there are so many recipes out there. My mum tried the blender recipe but it never came out quite right. Enjoy Brazil.
